hey guys working on installing an amp in my car but can't find a place to run the wire through the firewall any places you guys did?
i drilled a hole on the pasanger side
above the pedals....you can fit the cable then then run it to the passanger side...mine was 4 guage cable so you should be able to put it. there is like a gasket on the firewall...you should not be drilling unless you are lazy or didnt get a long cable
yeah there is a rubber piece that can be removed above the pedals on the drivers side. just cut a hole small enough so you can barely squeeze the wire though. make it small enough so it gives you trouble that way its tight. then just route them down and in beteen the carpet and the trim pieces on the doors. easy
but u want to run it on the pasenger side
yeah it still worked for me...my cable was like 17 ft...so i had alot left over.Quote:

well runnig a 12volt power wire on the driver side cause's prob witht the ignition wiring, ive seen things from windows causing poping sounds in subs to simple engine rev's heard through the subs so in my experience its just easyer to run it on the pasenger side so u can bypass all that headach
I ran mine through the same place, worked awsome!Quote:

I'm pretty sure that it's the RCA audio wires that you wanna keep away from the power sources. Even so, I have the RCA wires running down my drivers side and my power wires running down the passeneger side.
Is it a specific thing to the 86-89 Accords? Because I've wired up lots of other cars with the wire on the drivers side without any issues.
not spicific but its more of a random thing i have incountered like i rewired a friends lincoln navi cause evertime he used his windows the subs would pulse after i swithced it around the prob went away, i think its because the 12v wire isent shielded so it outs of interferance, but i could be wrong let me research
ok after further researh its not that u want to run it don the pas side but the driver side i must have gottin that info mixed up acouple install's ago explanes my probs i had with speaker noice that i thought was cd interferance
well when i took off my carpet i set my wire down right on the passanger side and every thing sounded good....you have to remember this is for subs not voice speakers. i even took off the seats and it had holes where to put in the wire and the installation was clean...it works fine and on the driver side you have the gas and trunk levers not to mention the gas lines...Quote:

you could also of avoided drilling by running it throught the opening when the doors are ajar and lay it on the top of the fender, goes straight to the top terminal on the battery. might sound a little confusing or iffy. my .02$
the only prob there is getting into the car its just easyer to drill a new hole then u dont have to worry about it
